Ticats acquire veteran linemen Capicciotti, Fulton from Roughriders
Saskatchewan receives 2 players, draft picks
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats added two veterans for their playoff run, acquiring national defensive end Justin Capicciotti and international offensive lineman Xavier Fulton in a trade with Saskatchewan on Monday.
The Roughriders received defensive lineman Linden Gaydosh, the first-overall pick in the 2013 CFL draft, international wide receiver Tommy Streeter and fourth and seventh round selections in 2017.
Capicciotti registered 24 defensive tackles, three tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks in 14 games with Saskatchewan in 2016. In 71 career CFL games with the Edmonton Eskimos (2012-13), Ottawa Redblacks (2014-15) and Roughriders, the 6-3, 235-pound Toronto native has recorded 132 defensive tackles, 12 special teams tackles and 27 quarterback sacks.
He was a 2015 CFL East Division all-star with the Redblacks.
Fulton started in 75 games over five seasons (2012-15) with Saskatchewan, helping them win a Grey Cup title in 2013.
The six-foot-four, 300-pound offensive tackle also spent time with the NFL's Washington Redskins, San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts in 2010 and the United Football League's Virginia Destroyers in 2011.
